After My Divorce I Picked Up the Richest Boss in the World - Chapter 48
Chapter 48: Falling Off A Horse
“Director Zheng!”
“What’s the situation?”
The assistant director held a walkie-talkie and ran over while panting heavily. He stopped in time to see Director Zheng explaining stuff to Yin Yue!
Yin Yue vaguely felt that something was not right. She wanted to contact the sponsor, but the other party’s number could not be dialed.
The assistant director held two copies of the thin paper script and handed it to her, “Miss Yin, you are a special cast member. You need to change into a maid’s costume now. There will be a special staff member to bring you to the set of the group scene. We can not disturb the main lead and director’s rest here. I’m sorry!”
What was going on? A role that did not even have a name?
Yin Yue could not believe it. “What? How is this possible! I’m clearly the female lead!”
Director Zheng only frowned and glanced at her. Yin Yue’s face turned pale.
Even the assistant that Yin Yue had hired felt embarrassed. She had not expected the role that the financier had bought for Yin Yue to be an unnamed side character!
Jiang Zhi’s lips curled into a sympathetic arc. The investor had donated a role to trick her into giving it up. Only a simple-minded woman like Yin Yue would believe the other party without signing any terms or even leaving any evidence, how pitiful.
The assistant director invited Yin Yue to the makeup room of the extras. She lowered her head and looked at the script that had no lines at all. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
The makeup artist hid in the corner and discussed, “I heard that Yu Wan is a newcomer to ‘Star Glory’. She could even get the role of the third female lead. Why did Yin Yue come here to be an extra?”
“Didn’t she terminate her contract with Star Glory? Ah, maybe she offended the boss and was chased out! I heard that she even had to pay a termination fee. How tragic. How ridiculous was it when she marched in here calling herself the female lead?”
Yin Yue clenched her fingers and looked at her pale knuckles. Her hatred for Jiang Zhi grew deeper!
Jiang Zhi must have deliberately ignored her!
Jiang Zhi was jealous of her beauty, so she signed her up and wasted her time and youth!
She did not give her a lot of resources, but she was willing to destroy the newbies!
Sooner or later, she would seek revenge from Jiang Zhi!
In the grassland, the crew arranged the surrounding environment in advance and gave Lu Mian, Jiang Lu, and Yu Wan an audition.
As she was adjusting the set, Jiang Lu took the initiative to walk to Lu Mian’s side with a cup of hot milk tea and tried to get closer to him. “Do you want to drink some to warm up?”
Lu Mian acted as if he did not see her and turned to Yu Wan. “Can you get me some water?”
Yu Wan held the Thermos Cup and nodded hurriedly. She took out a disposable paper cup and filled it to the brim before handing it to Lu Mian..
After Lu Mian finished drinking, he tilted his head and looked at Jiang Lu. His gaze was indifferent as he said, “Do you have anything else? If not, make way for me. You’re blocking my sunlight! You’re in the way.”
Jiang Lu was so angry that she almost threw the milk tea at him. When she thought of the relationship between Lu Mian and Jiang Zhi, she tried her best to endure it!
She knew that Lu Mian had deliberately set her up that night, but she could not escalate the conflict with him!
Because Lu Mian was Jiang Zhi’s man, it was Jiang Lu’s intention to snatch him away!
“Actors and teachers, please take your positions! We will start shooting immediately!” The scene manager said loudly.
It was a scene where Lu Mian and Jiang Lu were riding on the same horse. Jiang Lu quietly put her hand on Lu Mian’s hand and used her fingertips to tease his palm. She said without moving her lips, “What’s so good about my sister? I can give you what she can give you. How about…”
PA!
Before Jiang Lu could finish her sentence, she felt her body lose its center of gravity and she fell to the ground!
Lu Mian sat on the horse’s back and looked at director Zheng and the scene attendants who were running towards him. He was expressionless.
“Argh!”
Jiang Lu held her ankle and realized that Lu Mian had done it on purpose. She cried out in pain in an exaggerated manner!
As long as she had problems on set, she could use Yan Zhang’s connections to kick Lu Mian out and make him go back to wherever he came from!
The team doctor helped her with her ankle. Director Zheng looked up at Lu Mian and said unhappily, “You’re so careless!”
Lu Mian said slowly, “I don’t know why, but Miss Jiang fell down on her own. I couldn’t even catch her.”
Jiang Lu: “…”
He was talking nonsense!
“Director Zheng.”
Jiang Zhi saw what had happened and could naturally guess what Jiang Lu was up to.
She looked at the horses controlled by the set manager and said to Director Zheng.
“There are a lot of scenes that require horse riding. I know that rather than using a stunt double, you want the actors to go on stage personally. I happen to know two equestrian coaches, so I can have them taught for free. I’ll set aside two days to teach the actors how to control the horses. What do you think?”
Director Zheng initially wanted to hire a coach, but the production team was short of funds, so Jiang Zhi’s suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
Director Zheng agreed immediately and said to Lu Mian, “It’s normal for rookies to make mistakes in front of the camera. Don’t feel burdened. You’ll be fine after you get more familiar with it!”
“Jiang Lu, you go back and rest first. I’ll reschedule your scenes.”
Director Zheng was perfunctory with Jiang Lu, and then continued to discuss with Jiang Zhi about the details concerning the equestrian coaches!
